remove screen saver

[Alan]

My PC goes to screen saver - but I can't seem to stop it.
When i go to Control Panel/ Display all i get is a choice of themes.
There are no tabs for screen saver
How can I turn the screen saver off?

TIA

Thanks for the quick response, but unfortunately that did not help

Hello Alan,

To disable the screensaver, you can manually edit the registry. Open the registry editor (Start/Run
REGEDIT) and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

On the right hand pane, delete the string named SCRNSAVE.EXE by selecting it and hitting delete on
the keyboard.
